Over the past few months, the permanent schools facilities building committee has been interviewing architectural firms. Once hired, the architect will start designing the building. The next step is for the state to review the project and give recommendations. Then the construction can go out to bid, he said. The renovation will include a new cafeteria and gym, a new media center, security updates, traffic and pedestrian safety improvements and general building updates. The project is being funded by the city and is expected to cost between $13 million and $14 million. The project will be also incorporating COVID safety guidelines. Improved ventilation systems equipped with air filtration will be installed to new COVID standards. Other anti-virus features could be included too, Richitelli said. Once the funding is put in place and approved by the city, construction may begin next summer, with the bulk of the work taking place in the summer of 2022.
